ATI ICP-OES Seawater + RO Water Pro Analysis

ICP-OES seawater analysis is an accurate and economical analysis for hobbyists and professionals in the aquarium industry. It allows the control of more than 25 water parameters (macro and trace elements) of your aquarium.

This PRO kit allows the analysis of aquarium water with nitrates, fluoride, KH and Reverse Osmosis water.

The ICP-OES technique

Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP) analytical techniques can quantitatively measure the element content of a material.

The sample solution is then vaporized in the core of an induced argon plasma, which can reach temperatures of approximately 8000 °C. At such a high temperature, all chemical species of the analyte undergo atomization, ionization and thermal excitation, and can then be detected and quantified with an optical emission spectrometer (OES).

With ATI’s ARCOS II ICP-OES machine, they have chosen a top-performing analyser in its class. It is characterized by its high accuracy and is used wherever high demands on element analysis are required. It is therefore not surprising that with the ARCOS II we can detect trace elements in concentrations down to less than 1 ug/l (0.001mg/l).
